Vintage Trunk
Pickup available at Strip District
Usually ready in 24 hours
A substantial antique trunk handcrafted in India from thick old hardwood and bound with hand-forged iron straps and hardware. Originally used for storage and transport, the piece carries the honest wear of decades of use — softened wood edges, surface checking, oxidized ironwork, and a deep patina that only develops over time.
The trunk’s architectural iron banding and oversized forged latches give it a grounded, utilitarian character, while the warm aged wood keeps the piece feeling approachable and richly textured. The proportions make it highly versatile: substantial enough to anchor a room while still functional for everyday storage.
Beautiful as a coffee table, blanket chest, entry bench alternative, or end-of-bed storage piece. The interior can house linens, seasonal textiles, children’s toys, records, or everyday household overflow while adding warmth and history to a contemporary space.
Its appeal comes from its authenticity — every crack, oxidation mark, hammer strike, and irregularity reflects the handmade nature of the original construction rather than decorative distressing.
Dimensions: 48" L x 30" H x 20" D
